Gibson Custom Shop Limited Edition Les Paul Axcess Custom (Alpine White, Floyd Rose)

Gibson Custom Shop Limited Edition Les Paul Axcess Custom (Alpine White, Floyd Rose) Overview

The Gibson Custom Shop has done a very small limited run of Les Paul Custom Axcess guitars in Alpine White finish with a Floyd Rose. A beautiful new 2011 limited production guitar that wil be as easy on your eyes as it will be on your fingers.

The Les Paul Axcess is more than just "different." It's the result of Gibson's drive to build the best Les Pauls' possible, while staying true to the design and performance of the iconic Les Pauls of the past. Encounter the clever structural alteration that gives this new model its name by taking the instrument in your hands and running your fingers up the neck. The Axcess sports what looks from the front to be a traditional Les Paul neck joint, yet the neck heel and portions of the back and neck joint at the upper cutaway have been contoured to provide a "heelless" feel, and an unimpeded reach right up to the 22nd fret.

No more stretching against the traditional neck heel to achieve the upper-fret access that your lead style demands ' the Axcess gives you that legendary Les Paul playability all the way up the neck, welcoming you to take it right over the top. The one-piece, 24 3/4" scale length, mahogany neck.This Les Paul Custom version features a 22-fret ebony fingerboard with figured acrylic block inlays.

To further enhance playing comfort, this smoothly carved neck joint is combined with a "belly scarf" (aka ribcage contour) that allows the body of the guitar to hug closely to your own body in the playing position without digging in. Add to these contours the Les Paul Axcess's slightly thinner body, made from weight-relieved mahogany GÇô with a carved maple top in ebony finish and the body's top is trimmed in multi-ply white/b/w/b/w binding.
